Pros

There is only one positive reason to work for this bureau and that is very flexable hours. The crew leader exsects at least 18 hours a week and max of 40.

Cons

I have a solid background in management, management training, process implementation and operational audits. Having said that I feel fully qualified in relaying my findings. Each and every manager that I interacted with, including the Local Census Office Manager had serious management issues. These issues start with lack of leadership qualities, organizational and many others. This may very well be confined to this LCO, but my gut tells me that it is not the case.

I worked as a enumerator manager and it was fun work! My employees were fun and my managers were knowledgeable.

It would've been nice to still offer PPE.

Pros

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Cons

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
